Luke69 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 That means that you need to acclimate it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy1966 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have Root Beer F-line and it took a long time to acclimate. I would give it another 12 hours yet. I still have to take out some when I know I going to smoke it so it can acclimate for an hour or so. I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 thought you said you didnt have any f line tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tranoid no ki Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 To the OP: Was there ever an end result here? Sorry to bring a year old thread back from the dead, but I am trying to acclimate mine, and want to know if you ever made progress with it.

JDHarding Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Yeah, if you're gonna attempt to smoke it, take out the amount you'll use to pack, lay it on tinfoil, and let it sit. The smaller amount of Tang will acclimate faster than the larger amount, usually. Just mix it around with your fingers every half hour or hour. Eventually it'll smell like it should smell.When you get a BBQ batch of any Tang, it'll usually still smell like a hint of BBQ no matter how long it acclimates. But it'll smoke much better if you can get past packing the bowl without puking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Root Beer is pretty crummy in my opinion....Don't buy Tangiers Root Beer it sucks! I'm very sorry for putting it out in the first place. I'm sure it does smell like bbq sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
